His artist statement:
I work with a large number of screens with a wide range of imagery. Pictograms, medical illustrations, imagery from 17th century emblemabooks to name just a few. I specifically try to incorporate ‘local’ visual elements I find in or around the working location in this way reacting on the specific circumstances. In every project there is a combination of new and existing screens, gradually changing my visual alphabet. Except for the preparation of the screens there is no over all preliminary design
The proces of printing is a very important factor. Sometimes it is a short time intervention like on the billboards. But most of the times the printing takes weeks allowing a gradual growth and also giving the public the opportunity to follow the creative proces. After applying layers and layers of imagery, I also start removing parts again, untill a final state is reached. The projects are generally temporary but can be made permanent by adding a protective layer
